Being involved in education is the number one thing parents and caregivers can do to improve student performance.
It sends a powerful message to our children that their education is important and we are there to support them. Whether you spend one hour a week or one day a week, your efforts will be greatly appreciated and noticed by your child and others.

What is a Room Parent?
A room parent is a bridge between the teacher and other parents. While the specifics of the position vary by classroom, a room parent provides communications between the teacher, other parents, the Parent Faculty Club and occasionally the school administration. Room parents play a crucial role in effective school communications and building community.
Each classroom needs and benefits most from having 1-2 Room Parents. If you would like to be a Room Parent, please contact your classroom teacher or email roomparents@harveymilk.com .
